Garden Design: Life Happens in the Margins

The trinity that remains, below. Noticed decades ago, what remains of a good garden. Can you label the remnant layers?

Open, wooded, stone focal point.
.
Pasture/meadow, woodland, stone focal point.

What I haven't known for decades, about that trinity, is its place in the hierarchy of Nature. Had to serendipitously learn its role.
.
Did you know there is a function of meadow next to woodland?
.
High density next to low density.
.
Do you know where this is leading?
.
Maximum pollinator habitat.
.
All roads lead back to, Life happens in the margins.
.
No accidents.
.
With a garden, the trinity is literal. Not psycho babble, life-happens-in-the-margins, about creating more space in your life for calm. Don't understand? Create & live in a historically designed garden. You'll get the memo.
